Welcome

MIT has established a multidisciplinary team of faculty, staff and graduate students drawn from the Schools of Engineering, Management and Humanities and Social Sciences to study the global airline industry. The goal of this program is to develop a body of knowledge for understanding development, growth and competitive advantage in this industry, which is one of the most diverse, dynamic and perplexing of the world.

The Global Airline Industry Program represents a large-scale effort that provides the means for MIT and the academic community to make a "great leap forward" in studying the airline industry and in educating its future leaders. This effort was established under the umbrella of the Sloan Foundation's Industry Studies Program and is supported by the MIT Airline Industry Consortium.
